This episode explores the complex relationship between trauma and eating disorders, delving into how one can often lead to the other. Trauma will be redefined and I will try to unpack its effects on the brain, shedding light on how overwhelming emotions can manifest in harmful coping mechanisms. By understanding how trauma shapes behavior, we'll examine why disordered eating can become a method of regaining control and navigating emotional turmoil.
